Powering Innovation Led Growth

Powering innovation-led growth

New products and services should be a valuable path to growth, but with over 80 per cent of launches failing, a new approach is needed. At TNS we have proven that we can turn innovation’s failure rate around – but only if companies are courageous and focused on identifying the right opportunities from the outset.

Pinpoint growth opportunities

Improve innovation success by more than six times industry norms with Matrix, our systematic approach to identifying and prioritising incremental opportunities at the very start of the innovation journey.

Concept screening decisions are some of the most critical in the innovation process – and often time-sensitive. eValuate express identifies winning concepts in as little as 24 hours.

Winning the brand share battle

ConversionModel provides detailed insights into category dynamics and spending patterns, pinpointing opportunities to attract new consumers, re-win existing ones and to optimise their spending. It uses a precise understanding of today’s market to predict tomorrow.

Predicting, managing and profiting from new technologies is one of the most important challenges that business leaders face.

It requires them to integrate a hugely diverse range of perspectives in a meaningful way: they must balance the insights of technology specialists with those of consumer experts, they must understand the related technologies that will determine a new launch’s success, and they must predict the moves and motivations of all of the players behind those technologies.
